Scott Wrigley, Head Building Certifier & Managing Director of ACT Certification, returns to the podcast to talk about how far his business has come in almost 4 years with Tradies in Business. He started out unable to step away from his business for a 2 day conference. This year he has taken a week at Hamilton Island and trips around Australia while his team kept things running. Scott shares how he got there, starting with a single morning or afternoon off and building up to a morning every week, and why he still fights the guilt of switching off. He and Nic also get into what is happening in the Canberra market, from the ACT land release changes and the worst residential approval rates in the country to builders pivoting into decks, pergolas and alterations to keep work coming in. Scott explains how he stays ahead of market shifts by educating himself and filtering out the noise, why he is expanding into New South Wales, and why educated business owners are still growing in a tough market.
